My little sis decided she wanted to get an album on the web, so used Itunes. Unfortunately she did not realise that you can only use their tunes with an ipod. Any idea how to convert these pesky protected aac tracks?

Many thanks

Bloody Apple! grrrr

You can change the format by exporting / burning to a CD (can't quite remember where the options are hiding). Then when it is in WAV, MP3 etc you can take it off the CD as normal.

Just looked on Itunes, this is the option to check.

Edit -> Preferences -> Advanced -> Burning

Thankyou very much! I don't think she'll be using that again, as she doesn't want to have to burn a cd everytime she want s to plonk it on her rio player.

I believe you can now get hold of non-DRM'ed music from I-tunes, but I don't know if they yet allow you to stick the files whereever you want.
